Unlike Tomoko, Akari had an umbrella of her own. However, the design of the umbrella that had become a karakasa was one to ward off evil spirits... and completely missing the irony in her actions, the oni had squeezed in next to Tomoko and the umbrella youkai, not wanting to be potentially possessed or assaulted by some evil ghost.

It also meant that she was cowering behind both Tomoko [i]and[/i] the no doubt put-out karakasa, reacting... appropriately to the initial terrifying appearance. Though with the girl's sudden shift in demeanour... were you supposed to offer ghosts something? Or was that gods? These weren't things that an oni needed to know! And giving up some of her sake would be [i]really[/i] annoying...
